First grade concluded their first science unit, Animal Traits & Survival!
We answered questions and examined topics regarding parent and offspring traits, trait variation, survival behavior, animal structures, and camouflage!
Today the students were able to create their own moth to camouflage around the classroom and invited Mrs. Victor to come try to find them!
Congrats to Coach Hetand, Coach Karst, and the MVP boys varsity golf team as they placed first as a team at Fish Lake today.
